I was thinking about this as well. The spy/troll hits the War Thunder forum with a post like "I hear the new F47 doesn't even have any components of the Next Generation Air Dominance program" ... then he waits for a bite, reels in a little by giving a few fake statements and arguing... then waits for the inevitable top secret manual to be posted.
What!?!? We can't just randomly fire on other nations without them retaliating? Outrageous!
It has to be from an endangered gorilla.
Yes, each impeachable instance or crime is grounds for a new impeachment.
The US likely has the votes for a 3rd impeachment, with some Republicans coming across the isle (again). However, it will not result in Trump being removed.
The US system is so fucking weird, it was never meant to work with political parties. It's like a penalty being called on the winning team in sports and the referee stops to ask the offending team if they should get a penalty or not.
Agreed, it is pretty spot on. Capturing the originals vacant stare is what makes it.
Dont threaten us with a good time.
28% of Americans think they are billionaires that are just suffering a temporary financial setback.
Agreed. I have said people ignored the books and dictionary entries, the word Aluminium and MANY others never caught on. You just keep pointing to those books.
The US literally "noped" out of the word Aluminium and refused to use it. If Im wrong, then why arent we saying it today?
It is what it is. The US did not accept the THIRD name change. No one really knew about the first name. Aluminium appeared in the fucking dictionary ... but the US population ignored it and stayed with the second name.
Wikipedia is just citing old books ... the same old books people disregarded when they refused to use the new weird name.
Webster was an idiot and was trying to change hundreds of words and the population just wasn't having it. "Soop" instead of "Soup" was literally forced on the public, Aluminium, Dawter ... do we use those? No.
Wikipedia is simply wrong. Both spellings were never equally used. Even your post confirms this, the dudes patent said "Aluminium", but he used Aluminum instead because he liked it. This is how it was everywhere.
From the Wikipedia page you linked;
Davy suggested the metal be named alumium in 1808[30] and aluminum in 1812, thus producing the modern name.[29] Other scientists used the spelling aluminium
The name Aluminium never caught on in the US. It appeared in a few books and was in a dictionary, but so we're words like Soop (for Soup) and greef (for grief). These did not catch on, Americans just kept using Aluminum. Webster wanted to standardize words .. but nobody wanted to use dawter instead of daughter. They did stop using "Gaol" and used Jail instead.
The word history was "alumium" in 1807, then changed to "aluminum" in 1808. It was not changed to "aluminium" until 1812

That's not how that works.
